Some of my online foodie pals had a cook along this weekend. The theme was Tagine/Moroccan.
I'm fortunate enough to have a tagine, which I love, and had some oxtails in the freezer; Yippieee I was set. Having a tagine is not necessary, any heavy-bottom pot will do.
Served with Harvest Grains Blend which is a mix of grains I get at Trader Joe's.
Put on some Moroccan music and let's get cooking!
And sometimes I end up with something wonderful like this.
Delicious Meat-a-ball soup.
Let's get cooking...
Leftover steak is a wonderful thing. I know, some people have never heard of leftover steak but I just happened to have some.
After I had this beautiful meal of grilled steak with fresh green beans and pine nuts,
I had this meal of baked potato smothered with steak, onion and green peppers in a rich brown gravy.
Grab your leftovers and let's get cookin'...
Last Sunday we had a potluck at church so I thought I'd take something kid friendly.
A co-worker told me about when she was in elementary school, how she always looked forward to beanie weenie day in the cafeteria. I thought I'd add the spaghetti trick to the hot dogs and call it Beanie Weenie Sketti.
I like doing this around halloween and tell the kids there are spiders in the beans.
It won't take long, lets make some.
Using rice flour is a quick easy way to have golden chops without having to go through the flour-egg-batter routine.
I served these beautiful chops with sautéed mushrooms, potatoes and a white wine reduction sauce.
Let's eat...
Last week I found myself at the Continental European Deli in La Jolla.
I picked up a few interesting things.
On the left are pickled garlic sprouts, in the middle are cookies. and in the jar on the right are pickled tomatoes with dill cucumbers.
I've never seen pickled tomatoes that I'm aware of in my life, so of course I had to buy them. No I haven't tried them yet but the cucumbers are wonderful.
In this case, pickled does not mean tart or sour, as a matter of fact, they are anything but. However, they are better not tart because the full flavor of the ingredient shines through.
The garlic sprouts are my favorite, I could eat the whole jar in one sitting. They are mild, tender and are a little reminiscent of asparagus.
The little cookies are crunchy and taste like vanilla wafers. I love 'em.
I like how they strung the cookes with a ribbon.
I'll be going back in a few weeks and am looking forward to getting something new and unusual.
And that's that
Potatoes, chorizo, mushrooms, onion and cheese baked to a golden brown.
I topped mine with a poached egg.
Come see how to make this delicious breakfast/brunch dish.
Juicy, tender pork chops with a nice crunchy coating.
Served with potatoes. Oh yummm
Mexican chocolate, warming spices, and masa harina make for a perfect drink on a cold rainy day.
I've been wanting to make this for the longest time. Today provided the perfect cold rainy day in which to make it.
C'mon, lets wrap our cold hands around a warming mug of Champurrado.
Meat filled ravioli finished off in a spicy sage butter sauce.
This is a big hit using mostly leftovers.
